1. HANDLE RESEARCH AND LECTURE ASSIGNMENTS. Handle the assignment of topics to the LD staff.
THIS ASSIGNMENT PROCESS SHOULD OCCUR WITHIN ONE WEEK OF WHEN I ANNOUNCE THE
TOPICS TO YOU AND SHOULD BE E-MAILED TO ALL LD STAFF PLUS JIM.
2. REVIEW RESEARCH ASSIGNMENTS. Review research assignments to make sure they make
relevant, good arguments. You should review and return with concrete, clear
suggestions for improvements within 3 days after someone sends the file to you.
3. KEEP TO SCHEDULE Assure that the camp schedule is adhered to and for
making any needed adjustments to the schedule after getting approval from Jim.
4. MEDICAL FORMS are available in Jim’s Office.
5. CHECK ROOMS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE CLEAN AND THERE IS NO DEROGATORY GRAFFITI AT
10:30PM EACH NIGHT. You are fined $10 per complaint; $30 if it is a serious
complaint.
6. DEBATE ROUNDS
·
Tab debates
including coordinating judges with the Head Policy Person and Jim, posting
rounds, and recording results as needed.
·
NOTE: I WOULD LIKE THE HEAD POLICY AND LD LAB LEADERS TO
MEET MONDAY NIGHT of the first week AND SET UP THE JUDGING FOR THE DEBATES.
·
If we have
enough kids, there is a Junior-Novice Division and an Open Division. If there
aren’t enough for a division, then have a breakout elim
round(s) for that division.
·
POSTINGS MUST
SHOW THE FIRST AND LAST NAME OF EACH DEBATER. We must have this for safety
reasons as we need to get to kids during emergencies. MAKE SURE THIS HAPPENS.
Sorry, no abbreviations or funny names—we have had problems with that in the
past.
·
Email Jim
DURING THE BEGINNING OF THE FINALS ROUND with the top open and top novice
speaker awards and the quarterfinalists, semifinalists, second place, and first
place teams (you can send who the finals round teams are since you won’t know
who won).
7. LAST DAY. Tell kids to grab their stuff and to pick up their lab rooms.
8. GENERALLY Handle various issues that crop up so that the camp’s smooth operation
is ensured. In the event that Jim requests you to engage in extra work—please
help him out. If your extra work involves more than 30 hours beyond the hours
of a regular LD Lab Leader, Jim will compensate you.
